I have a lot and I do mean a lot of new stories to submit but I can't do it until the end of the lock down. I sure hope this doesn't last much longer. I miss seeing my "name" in print.

I always came here looking for some you new stories. I already read all stories by your nicknames. It would help if you tell us a list of your nicknames, maybe I miss some stories! I have to ask, is the second time you mentioned lockdown, how could it possibly stop you from posting new stories?

I'm paranoid about internet security. An email is like a postcard. It can be read in transit. I submit my stores from a library computer and not the one I have at home.

This post is from an anonymous burner smart phone. Once the library reopens I'll be submitting a lot of different stores, so many that you're going to be saying, "No more!"

But here's the good thing. So often when I finish writing a story I submit it right away. Days or weeks later I realize that it was not really as good as it could have been. By being forced to wait before submitting I have time to reconsider and rewrite. I think you'll see the difference in improved quality. At least I hope so.

Give me some time on a list of the names I've written under. There have been so many I can't keep them all straight.

Thanks for the stories, I love them Atreyu69 it is good that you are taking precaution but don't keep us waiting too long.

And a list of previous nicks is also appreciated, so we add those to our reading lists.

the only other nickname i know is Josh. Any other suggestions?

There's Luke X Atreyu88, Josh and maybe a few others I might have forgotten

I sure wish I could figure out how to transfer word document from my computer to this burner phone

For the older story lines I'm returning to I've kept the same voice and style to remain true to the original

For the new line I haven't. I want to create something unlike the earlier stuff

One thing to consider might be a "burner" laptop running Linux Mint 19. You can pick up old laptops from the XP era for a song, most can take 2 GIG of RAM, and that's plenty to bring them back to life with Linux. If you can use Windows, you can use Linux. For a 64 bit capable machine, you can get Opera browser with built-in VPN, no data limit. Use some public WIFI to do the upload with VPN turned on. Avira Antivirus free offers VPN with a 700MB/month limit. When you start to get itchy, it's a 'burner' laptop. Toss it in a pond somewhere if you must.

Back in 2001, Talula gave me an old Toshiba that was pretty much over the hill then. It runs now, like new, with Linux. Battery is shot, but oh well.

Why spoil perfectly good laptops and ponds?

Just do a live boot from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system) or Puppy Linux or something like that (do not know what is actively updated those days), it will boot, and then forget all changes done to the system on power off.

I wish this G.D. lockdown would end so I can submit stories again!
